Battery: troubleshooting
BA ttEry : troubleshooting (1/2)
Handle the battery with care
as it contains sulphuric acid,
which must not come into
contact with eyes or skin. If
it does, wash the affected area with
plenty of cold water. If necessary,
consult a doctor.
Ensure that naked flames, red hot
objects and sparks do not come into
contact with the battery as there is a
risk of explosion.
The engine may be hot when car-
rying out operations in close prox-
imity. In addition, the engine cooling
fan can come on at any moment.
Risk of injury.
t o avoid all risk of sparks:
– Ensure that any consumers (cour-
tesy lights, etc.) are switched off
before disconnecting or reconnect-
ing the battery.
–

When charging, stop the charger
before connecting or disconnecting
the battery.
–

Do not place metal objects on the
battery to avoid creating a short cir-
cuit between the terminals.
–

Always wait at least twenty seconds
after the engine has been switched
off before disconnecting a battery.
–

Make sure that you reconnect the
battery terminals after refitting.
As the battery is specific
to
the vehicle (presence of
a ventilation pipe to expel
corrosive and explosive
gases), make sure that it is replaced
with a battery that enables this pipe
to be connected. Consult an ap-
proved Dealer.

erminal 3 of the battery supplying the
current
and then to (–) terminal 4 of the
discharged battery.
Check that there is no contact between
leads

A and B and that the positive (+)
l
ead A is not touching any metal parts
on the vehicle supplying the current.
Start the engine as normal. As soon as
it

is running, disconnect leads A and B
in the reverse order (4-3-2-1)
connecting a battery charger
the battery charger must be com-
p
atible with a battery with nominal
voltage
of 12 volts.
Switch the engine off and then discon-
nect both battery leads s
tarting with
the
negative terminal .
Do not disconnect the battery when the
engine is running. Follow
the instruc-
t
ions given by the manufacturer of
the
battery charger you are using.
starting the vehicle using the
battery
from another vehicle
If you have to use the battery from an-
other vehicle to start, obtain suitable
jump leads (with a large cross section)
from an approved dealer or, if you al-
ready have jump leads, ensure that
they are in perfect condition.
t

he two batteries must have an iden -
tical

nominal voltage of 12 volts. The
battery supplying the current should
have a capacity (amp-hours, Ah) which
is at least the same as that of the dis-
charged battery.
Ensure that there is no risk of contact
between the two vehicles (risk of short
circuiting when the positive terminals
are connected) and that the discharged
battery is properly connected. Switch
off your vehicle ignition.
Start the engine of the vehicle supply-
ing the current and run it at an interme-
diate engine speed.
Special procedures may be
required to charge some
batteries. Contact your ap-
proved dealer.
Avoid all risk of sparks which may
cause an immediate explosion, and
charge the battery in a well-venti-
lated area. Risk of serious injury.

Fuses
Remove the fuse using tweezers 2.
To remove the fuse from the tweez-
ers, slide the fuse in the direction of the
arrow.
In accordance with local legislation
or as a precautionary measure:
Obtain an emergency kit containing
a set of spare bulbs and fuses from

If an electrical component does not
work, check the condition of the fuses. U nclip cover

wheel).
To identify the fuses, refer to fuse allo-
c
ation label 4 (shown on the page op-
posite).
It is not advisable to use the free fuse
locations.
Check the fuse in question and replace it, if necessary, with a fuse of
the
same rating .
If a fuse is fitted where the rating is too high, it may cause the electrical
circuit to overheat (risk of fire) in the event of an item of equipment using
an excessive amount of current.

Check the condition of the wiper
blades.
Replace the wiper blades as soon
as they begin to lose efficiency
(approximately once a year).
Whilst changing the blade, take care
not to drop the arm onto the window
after it has been removed as this
may break the window.

Remorquage : dépannage (X76 - Renault)
ENG_NU_854-2_X76LL_Renault_5
Only use the front 1 and rear towing
points 2 (never use the drive shafts).
These towing points may only be used
for in-line traction: never use them for
lifting the vehicle directly or indirectly.
Towing: breakdown
When the engine is stopped,
steering and braking assist-
ance are not operational.
t he steering wheel must be un-
locked
and the ignition key must be
in
position m (ignition on) to provide
s
top lights and direction indicators
on
the towed vehicle. At night the ve-
hicle
must have its lights on.
You must observe the towing regu-
lations which apply in the country in
which you are driving: do not exceed
the towing weight for your vehicle.
Contact your approved Dealer.
tOWing: breakdown
1
2
– Use a rigid towing bar. If a
rope or cable is used (where
the law allows this), the ve-
hicle being towed must be
able to brake.
–

A vehicle must not be towed if it is
not fit to be driven.
–

Avoid accelerating or braking sud -
denly when towing, as this may
result in damage being caused to
the vehicle.
–

When towing a vehicle, it is ad -
visable not to exceed 1
5 mph
(25 km/h).
Do not leave the tools unse-
cured inside the vehicle as
they may come loose under
braking.

6.
Refer to the manufacturer’s instruc-
tions for information on how to fit
and operate the towing equipment.
Please keep these instructions with
the rest of the vehicle documenta-
tion.
